Physical laws are Lorentz-covariant among inertial frames; namely, the form of a physical law is invariant under the Lorentz group of space-time transformations. Therefore, the Lorentz symmetry sets a fundamental constraint for physical theories. Nevertheless, modifications of special relativity (SR) and possible violations of Lorentz invariance have recently obtained increased attention. Although, the success of general relativity (GR) to describe all observed gravitational phenomena proves the fundamental importance of Lorentz invariance in our current understanding of gravitation, some of the modern theories (unification theories, extensions of the standard model and so on) suggest a violation of special relativity. The aim of most of the Lorentz violating theories is to modify a Lorentz invariant theory by introducing small phenomenological Lorentz-violating terms into the basic relations of the theory (Lagrangian density, dispersion relation and so on) and predict what can be expected from it. Reviews of the most popular approaches [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26] to parameterizing Lorentz violating physics in the context of their relation to the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ can be found in [27, 28]. Some of those studies are discussed in the following sections about the results obtained in the present paper.
The theory termed ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ developed in [27, 28, 29] represents a very special type of a Lorentz violating theory that is conceptually different from others found in the literature. It is not even a preferred frame that makes a difference—all violations of Lorentz invariance, made by distorting Lorentz-invariant relations of the theory, imply the existence of a preferred frame for the formulation of the physical laws, the one in which all the calculations need to be carried out, since breaking relativistic invariance also invalidates the transformations that allow us to change reference frame. The first major difference of the present analysis from the above-mentioned studies is that the Lorentz violation
To outline the framework of the theory named ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ one has to start from the definition of the preferred frame. In the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’, the preferred frame is defined as the only frame where propagation of light is isotropic, while it is anisotropic in all other frames moving relative to the preferred one (it is a common definition in the studies investigating the fundamentals of special relativity and its potential breaking).1 Discussing the anisotropy of propagation of light one has to distinguish between the
The above-described generalization of special relativity cannot be validated by experiments measuring the speed of light since only the two-way speed of light, the same in all the frames, can be measured. For creating a physical theory, predictions of which can be compared with observational data, it is needed to identify the preferred frame of the present analysis, which is defined by the property of isotropy of the one-way speed of light, with a frame possessing the property that velocity of any other frame relative to it can be measured using some physical phenomena. In the present analysis, that preferred frame is a comoving frame of cosmology or the CMB frame (note that identifying the preferred frame with the CMB frame is a common feature of practically all Lorentz-violating theories). It is the only frame possessing the property, that motion of any other frame relative to it is distinguishable, and, in addition, this frame, like the preferred frame of the present analysis, is defined based on the isotropy property. As a result of specifying the preferred frame, all the relations of the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’, as well as of its extensions, contain only one universal constant
Identifying the preferred frame with the cosmological comoving frame implies that the theory should be applied to phenomena on cosmological scales. Studying different phenomena requires extensions of the modified SR kinematics to different areas of physics. The purpose of this chapter is to present a unified view of the extensions and their applications based on the concept of the modified space-time symmetry. This includes extension to general relativity (Section 4.1) and constructing cosmological models based on the modified general relativity (Section 4.2); extension to the dynamics of the free particles (Section 3.1) and its application to the processes accompanying the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) and the gamma-rays propagation (Sections 5.1 and 5.2); extension to electromagnetic field (Section 3.2) and studying electromagnetic waves based on the modified electrodynamics (Section 3.3) with application to the gamma-rays propagation (Section 5.3).
Kinematics of the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ will be only outlined in this section, for a detailed presentation see [27, 28, 29].

Note that, while scalars and components of three-dimensional vectors in the Minkowskian formulation appear with ‘tilde’, four-dimensional Minkowskian variables are not supplied with ‘tilde’. It does not lead to any confusion since the four-dimensional notation does not applicable to the formulation in physical variables.
In the electrodynamics of the standard special relativity (which, in our case, is electrodynamics in Minkowskian variables), the electric and magnetic field intensities are defined based on equations of motion of a charged particle obtained from the Lagrange equations.

It is worthwhile to note a distinguishing feature of the above analysis as compared with other studies of electromagnetic waves in the presence of the Lorentz violation. Typically, different modes arising due to the Lorentz violation correspond to different roots of the modified dispersion relation (see, e.g., [6, 38, 39, 40]). The present analysis provides an unusual example when two different modes correspond to the same root of the dispersion relation (for the waves propagating to the observer. it is the second root of (74)). The existence of two modes is revealed only when one studies the corresponding solutions of the modified Maxwell equations. It is worth also noting that the present analysis is performed solely in terms of field intensities
The basic principle of general relativity, the Equivalence Principle (see, e.g. [41]), which asserts that at each point of spacetime it is possible to choose a ‘locally inertial’ coordinate system where objects obey Newton’s first law, is valid independently of the law of propagation of light assumed. In other terms, it can be applied when the processes in the locally inertial frame are governed by the laws of ‘relativity with a preferred frame’. Based on that there exists the invariant combination (7), which by the change of variables (9) is converted into the Minkowski interval, one can state that the general relativity equations in arbitrary coordinates

The ‘true’ time and space intervals can be determined using a procedure similar to that described in [37]. Applying that procedure (see [27] for details) yields the following relations for the ‘true’ proper time interval

In the relativity with a preferred frame, solving the modified GR equations for a matter-dominated model lead to the luminosity distance-redshift relation of the form, which allows fitting the results of observations with supernovae so that the acceleration problem can be naturally resolved—there is no acceleration and so no need in introducing the dark energy.

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) data are commonly considered as confirming the accelerated expansion and imposing constraints on the dark energy parameters. Applying the cosmological models based on the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ to the interpretation of the BAO data provides an alternative view on the role of the BAO observations in cosmology. Comparing the predictions of the present model with the recently released galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS III), shows that the BAO data can be well fit to the present cosmological model. The BAO data include two independent sets of data: the BAO scales in transverse and line-of-sight directions which can be interpreted to yield the comoving angular diameter distance
In this section, the application of the theory to the description of the effects due to the interactions of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) with universal diffuse background radiation in the course of the propagation of cosmic rays from their sources to Earth over long distances (see, e.g., review articles [45, 46, 47]) is considered. The interactions of the UHECR with the CMB photons are characterized by a well-defined energy threshold for the energy suppression due to pion photoproduction by UHECR protons—the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff [48, 49]. The fluxes of cosmic ray protons with energies above this threshold would be strongly attenuated over distances of a few tens of Mpc so that the cosmic ray protons from the sources at a larger distance, even if they were accelerated to energies higher than the threshold, would not be able to survive the propagation. The energy position of the GZK cutoff can be predicted based on special relativity as a theoretical upper limit (‘GZK limit’) on the energy of UHECR set by pion photoproduction in the interactions of cosmic ray particles with the microwave background radiation. Calculating the GZK limit based on the particle dynamics of the special relativity with a preferred frame developed in Section 3.1 (see [28] for details) yields
where
It is seen that the expression (105) for the threshold energy of the proton differs from the common one by the factor
Left panel: dependence of the correction factor to the GZK threshold on the source redshift
This effect may contribute to the interpretation of the data on the mass composition of UHECR which is a key observable in the context of the physics of UHECR as it fixes few fundamental characteristics of the sources. The mass composition of UHECR became a matter of active debate after that the Pierre Auger Collaboration (Auger) reported on its recent observations [50, 51]. The observations of Auger, far the largest experiment set-up devoted to the detection of UHECR, have shown that the UHECR mass composition is dominated by protons only at energies around and below
The complexity of the scenario and the severe constraints on the model parameters, required in the case of a composition with heavy nuclei, are not present in the case if the UHECR mass composition is dominated by protons. In the latter case, the scenario is much simpler, only protons are accelerated with very high maximum injection energies. The view that the UHECR are mostly protons is, theoretically, a natural possibility. Proton is the most abundant element in the universe and several different astrophysical objects, at present and past cosmological epochs could provide efficient acceleration even if it requires very high luminosities and maximum acceleration energies. The models of interaction of UHECR with the astrophysical background are also much simpler if the UHECR are mostly protons. In this case, the only relevant astrophysical background is the CMB [53, 54]. This fact makes the propagation of UHE protons free from the uncertainties related to the background, being the CMB exactly known as a pure black body spectrum that evolves with red-shift through its temperature.
The results of the present study allow reconciling (at least, partially) the view, that, the primary UHECR flux at the sources is dominated by protons accelerated with very high maximum injection energies, with the observational evidence that the fraction of protons in the UHECR is decreasing towards higher energies. The apparent contradiction can be resolved by taking into account the effect, predicted by the present analysis, that the number of sources, which may contribute to the observed flux of protons at a given energy, is progressively decreasing with the energy increases. This effect is a consequence of the threshold condition (105) which implies that, among protons produced by a source at some
Gamma rays (
which has the effect of a significant energy attenuation in the flux of high-energy gamma rays. Such interaction takes place for gamma rays with energies (
The following assumptions should be made if we intend to calculate the threshold value of the energy of the gamma-rays photons:
It is needed to take the lowest energy the high-energy photon can have to react with the background photon to yield the two particles which correspond to the situation when they both are produced at rest in their center of mass frame after the collision.
To maximize the energy available from the collision, the initial momenta of the two particles in the lab frame should be pointing in opposite directions.
Let us equate the square of the total

The left-hand side of Eq.

In the literature on Lorentz violation, as major features of the behavior of electromagnetic waves in vacuum in the presence of Lorentz violation, vacuum dispersion and vacuum birefringence are considered. Astrophysical tests for vacuum dispersion of light from astrophysical sources seek differences in the velocity of light at different wavelengths due to Lorentz violation which should result in observed arrival-time differences. For differences in the arrival times of different wavelengths to be interpreted as caused by differences in the light velocities, explosive or pulsed sources of radiation that produce light over a wide range of wavelengths in a short period, such as gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, or blazars, are to be used. All those are point sources, which have the disadvantage (to impose constraints on Lorentz violation) that a single line of sight is involved, which provides sensitivity to only a restricted portion of space for free coefficients of the Lorentz violating models.
The same is valid for the present theory leading to the dispersion relation (72). In the case of the waves propagating along the

It does not depend on
Another test, that is commonly used for setting constraints on the parameters of the Lorentz-violating theories in electrodynamics, is the vacuum birefringence test. In birefringent scenarios, the two eigenmodes propagate at slightly different velocities. This implies that the superposition of the modes is altered as light propagates in free space. Since the two modes differ in polarization, the change in superposition causes a change in the net polarization of the radiation. However, it does not apply to the present theory leading to the dispersion relation (72). The two roots of the dispersion relation correspond to the waves propagating in different directions. Thus, no two eigenmodes are propagating in the same direction and so there is no possibility for vacuum birefringence. Thus, neither tests for vacuum dispersion nor tests for vacuum birefringence can impose restrictions, additional to those imposed by cosmological data, on the values of the only parameter of the theory
The vacuum birefringence and vacuum dispersion are widely discussed in the literature as astrophysical tests of Lorentz violation in the pure photon sector of the standard-model extension (e.g., [6, 38, 59, 60, 61, 62]). Therefore it is of interest, in that context, to compare the Lorentz-violating terms, appearing in the Lagrangian due to the preferred frame effects in the present study, with those introduced as a formal SME extension. Extracted from the SME, the Lorentz-violating electrodynamics can be written in terms of the usual field strength
In what follows, we calculate the Lagrangian of the electrodynamics with a preferred frame and compare the Lorentz violating terms in that Lagrangian with those in (125). Calculating
It is seen that the form (126) is in a sense more general than (125) because of the Lorentz violating multiplier

The ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ incorporates the existence of the cosmological preferred frame into the framework of the theory while preserving fundamental principles of the SR: the principle of relativity and the principle of universality of the light propagation. The relativistic invariance is preserved in the sense, that the physical laws are covariant (their form does not change) under the group of transformations between inertial frames, and the relativistic symmetry is preserved (although modified) in the sense that there exists a combination, a counterpart of the interval of the standard relativity theory, which is invariant under the transformations. The existence of the modified symmetry provides an extension of the theory to general relativity such that the general covariance is also preserved. Thus, the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ is a relativity theory, both in the special relativity and in the general relativity parts. Except for identifying the preferred frame with a comoving frame of cosmology, the theory does not include any assumptions. No approximations are involved besides approximating the universal function
The problem of defining allowed values of
In the applications of the theory to the BAO data, the conceptual and quantitative aspects go together. The BAO observations provide two different sets of data: BAO scales in transverse and line-of-sight directions. Measurements of the angular distribution of galaxies yield the quantity
Next, it might be expected that some constraints on allowed values of
Applying the modified particle dynamics to the pair-production process, which is responsible for attenuation of the gamma-rays flux, does not provide quantitative constraints on the values of the parameter
In general, the fact, that applying the theory containing only one universal parameter to several different phenomena does not lead to any contradictions, proves a consistency of its basic principles. The presence of only one parameter in the theory is a consequence of the fact that, as distinct from the popular Lorentz-violating theories, where Lorenz violation is introduced phenomenologically by adding Lorentz-violating terms to the Lorentz invariant relations, the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ starts from the physically reasonable modification of the basic postulates of the SR. The generalized relativistic invariance, and so the Lorentz invariance violation, are ingrained in the theory at the most fundamental level being imbedded into the metric. It is also worth to emphasize that the conceptual basis of the theory has been developed without having in mind possible applications. It is aimed at designing the framework which would allow to incorporate the preferred frame into special relativity while retaining the relativity principle and the fundamental space-time symmetry. Nevertheless, the theory provides explanations of some observational data, that were regarded as puzzling after their discovery (like the SNIa luminosity distance-redshift relation indicating the acceleration of the universe and the absence of high energy protons in the UHECR flux). As the result, the concepts (among which dark energy is the most striking one), introduced to explain those puzzling features, become redundant. All the above justifies treating the ‘relativity with a preferred frame’ as an alternative to some currently accepted theories.
